Thread: Kingis

Ok, let's try this again ....

Nah still upside down

KISS theory !

Out and back dive the Glenn again this morning, myself and eight other divers. Bait schools and Kawhai spread out over about a k no real action. Finned out to the buoy vis was 25 ft didn't see a kingi until I had ditched my spear and swam into the reserve. Reserve is pumping with big blue cod, and just as I was heading for home a small school of Kawhai swam into view along with a lone rat kingi.
Water was warm and flat calm hopefully the vis will improve with an incoming tide.

Will be out again Saturday if conditions remain this good. Plankton was noticeably absent this dive wonder if it the result of a out going tide or the fact we had huge tides recently with a shit load current? Hopefully it will return soon as it seems to hold the bait and the bigger kingi's. Couple of boats trolling and other divers came up empty so not so dissapointed. All in all another fantastic dive!

Heard a whisper Munsey is giving my home patch a working over.

I might come down with a surf caster in the morning and see if i can catch a stingray

Yes I did wonder what "smoked stingray" would taste like. I prefer "catch and keep", freezer looks better that way and my tummy stays rounder too

Tell that to the orca down south their stingray munching days are over!!











edit to add... this was meant as humour, It offends or up sets .....

Never mind ,...blew south east about to ffffn much. Got wet ,saw a lot of bait ,got out in one piece, helped a couple of other blokes get out, shared a couple of ideas,learnt something, shared a beer. Got home to hot shower. This king fishing ain't as easy as it's made out to be! Night all.

I won't tell you what my brother caught in the bay live baiting for a kingi on Sunday I give you a clue , your rugby team name

The thing that surprised me about that when I saw it on the news was that nine Orca equate to five percent of the population around New Zealand. If my arifmatick serves me right that means there were only 180 of them in the first place.

Not a large coast line and they are quite selective seasonal eaters. Anymore and we may be on the menu
